Coach Talk

Lazy Laughing Lizard
Identifying mismatches is a huge key to success in football. With stout performances by Saquon Barkley and Phillip Lindsay, our squad took that to heart this past week. We nearly tripled LambeauLeapers at running back (40 points to 14). Barkley had 197 total yards and a TD, while Lindsay logged 51 yards.
LambeauLeapers
Unless LambeauLeapers wants to go full diva-mode, then "not seeing enough chances" doesn't fly as an excuse this time around. As a group, our pass-catching corps (three WR and one TE) collectively saw a whopping 35 targets in Week 14. With just 21 total catches, this group may have some chemistry issues.
